The twenty-ninth
alumni banquet of the high school alumni association held at the
Odd Fellows Tuesday evening provided a most enjoyable evening for
both the old and young graduates of the local school. About 75 were
present. At the business meeting which preceded the banquet the
following officers for the ensuring year were elected: Vernon Smith
president; Verna May Flood, vice president; Alvin Bryner,
secretary; Ethel V. Rieder, treasurer.

The seats at the
tastily decoration banquet tables were almost all occupied when the
president, Miss Lena Baumgartner, requested Howell A. Stuve to ask
Divine blessing. In well chosen words the toastmaster, Edmund K.
Noyes was then introduced. Mr. Noyes showed rare ability in
interspersing wit and serious thought, as he called upon each
speaker. The class of 1935 was formally welcome by W. E Waters, the
response being given by his son, Wayland Waters. Other toasts were
given by A. F. Simons, Miss Edith Simons, Archie L. Sparkes, Mrs.
Jennie Bone, Will O. Fowler, Nordahl S. Fristad, and Fern Barkley.
In some of these talks many happy reminiscences of bygone school
days were recounted. A silent toast to the departed members was
drunk which is a most fitting tribute to the memories of these
beloved graduates. Principal Herman LeCaptain introduced the
various accompanied by delightful anecdotes pertaining to each
student.

Following the
toasts the members adjourned to the lodge hall where a most
entertaining program of reading, musical numbers and novelty stunts
was carried out under the direction of the program committee. Each
of these numbers was well prepared and well received. This program
was concluded with the class of 1935 standing while the class poem
was recited. Impromptu music was provided and those who were so
inclined enjoyed the remainder of the evening in dancing.

In 1935 bouquets
will go into the records as one of the most successful in the
history of the association. The attendance was large, the interest
was good and every detail to make a pleasant evening had been
adequately anticipated. The banquet was served by the Ladies Aid
Society and was an appetizing repast.
